Time travel and teleportation of Steppe theory:
Steppe hypothesis requires the following extraordinary claims:
1. Yamnaya teleported 3500km effortlessly and set up a new settlement in Afanasievo
2. Afanasievo, which died out in 2500 BCE, timetravel to Tarim basin 400 yrs later.

Another peculiar thing about the Steppe claim of Tocharian, is that once crossing into Tarim, they did not settle near the river or lake in the east basin but hiked the entire desert and settled in Yuansha right across Sarazm.... and oh they somehow had IVC ancestry...incredible!
The parsimonious conclusion should be that Sarazm crossed over and settled across the mountains into Yuansha/Tarim and they had IVC+Tajik DNA exactly like Sarazm because they are descended from IVC.
Genetically Tarim is sufficiently different from Tajiks, plus it would require them to cross Palmir mts. An alternative explanation is that Tarim was populated from Ladakh via following rivers. This would also explain Tarim IVC ancestry.
See how close Yamnaya, Sarazm and BMAC cluster together (circled red). Its likely that Sarazm was the ancestor population. Tarim (circled orange) is different due to IVC admix.
Found a gem. Apparently, irrigation tech and grains from BMAC were copied by Tarim. All these obvious signs of BMAC->Tarim culture and lang spread had to be ignored just to claim a descent from Afanasievo. Of course DNA has falsified it now.

What conclusion can you draw regarding Sarazm, Yamnaya and Afanasievo having almost identical DNA? And what happens if Sarazm is 400 yrs older than others? The only conclusion you can draw is that Sarazm is the ancestral culture, falsifying AMT.
Since all three groups plus Tarim basin have Indian DNA, (Tarim actually has IVC in 2000 BCE), you have genetic proof of OIT.
Linguistic proof also exists based on IA in Uralic, Tibetian impact on PIE, elephant etc.
Archaeologically, the movements of Bos Indicus, etc.

Travel from Tajik area to Tarim/Kashgar was known from ancient times, Kushan empire flowed into Tarim
